On three continuous Saturdays, the troop painted, assembled, and installed three benches for Montera Middle School. The first Saturday, the troop sanded, primed, and painted the two-by-fours. The second Saturday, the troop cut and assembled the benches to the same specifications as the old benches. During the third and final weekend, the troop removed the old benches, cut the crossbraces to size for attaching to the new benches, and screwed in the new benches to the supports. They also installed one additional support. All in all the troop felt a great sense of accomplishment as the students of Montera Middle School will have brand new benches on which to sit.
